It’ll be hard to mess that up so that it misses. Chicken forcefield may not be enough.

Ha, he doesn't have the terrain any more to help get stuff fired. I'm sure it's a learning curve with the maritime influence too. Probably a lot of fun learning a new CWA too. We've been having some thunder up this way this morning.

The only time the upper air winds are out of the east is like a massive bomb with big U-Wind anomalies. Otherwise, flow is always some sort of westerly component. Im not sure your post makes sense. Low level easterly flow is what a door is.

If those windows south anywhere near south, you must roast in there during the day? That unit looks a bit small for that space but I also like Ginxy’s advice. I’d have a fan going in the loft. My parents have a loft/open area like that and they run a ceiling fan 24/7 to clear out the eaves. That unit looks like it’s fighting larger space and a lot of heating from those windows.

64/63 Trying to cool off at 11pm. This might only be a brief mild-down coming?

Yes! That's just what I was thinking... I mean you pop a big one to lead off the winter, you expect to be well on your way to a memorable winter total. I mean what a crush job... the swath of 18"+. It was 22-25.7" for reports in my childhood town/Delmar to the immediate SW of ALB.

That was a high-end event in some spot. My folks and childhood home near ALB got crushed. I know it was a more narrow swath from NE Mass/S NH westward through eastern NY and the Catskills, but this type of snowstorm in the Hudson Valley in the first couple days of December is solid. The grill is just totally gone. It does suck that it is remembered by those areas not as a huge storm, but it'll be overshadowed by the poor winter that followed. When you get that type of snowfall to start December, you dream of gold I'm sure. Big starts are fun, but can lead to disappointment?

Yeah see we had more of a real see-saw in temperatures. June was only (compared to SNE) +1.7 here at MVL despite having 5 days of >90F maxes... destroying climo in that regard. We did have 2 days of maxes in the 50s as well, along with some 60-65F. In fact, MPV/Montpelier has June at exactly 0.0 departure despite the hot periods. It was warmer in the means but we still had periods of -10 and -12 departures to go with +12 departures. Back in June, a day of 91/48 was a really hot afternoon but only a +7 departure at the time. Get the high end max temp but the minimum temps and high diurnal spread kept it from getting out of hand in the positive direction back when sites were pulling 35-45 spreads.

That’s actually impressive thats *only* the maxes, ha. But yeah hasn’t had the high heat down there that we have had up north. Even today, BDL hit 90F, Tolland Stem lower than Kev and more wide open only did 85F.... Under the oak trees was probably like 82-83F. Summer time is probably like -7 on the BDL temp but +7 on the BDL dew there.

Is there a day that BDL hit 95+? I’d assume it takes at least that high to get near 90F under the trees at 1,000ft.

70s today felt good and it’s weird when a dew of 64F seems refreshing. A/C off after a rare couple day stretch.

Yeah it hasn’t felt humid up this way before this week. We’ve done the big heat but drier. A win for all I guess, ha. I’d much rather the 92/56 stuff over the 80s/70s this week has wanted to be.

What’s the max temp at your house this season so far?

Cyclonic flow upslope rain showers the past few hours. The rare summer upslope pattern squeezing moisture out over the crest.

Our resident bear just went running through the yard again, looks like an adolescent in daylight. Such a spaz.

Remember you are talking BDL, be careful haha. These aren’t dews, so won’t be measured at the Davis.

Some decent rains overnight, looks like about 0.65” since yesterday afternoon. Around an inch total from Fay.

We had a low this morning of 73F... that's as warm as I can ever remember. We always get into the 60s at the very least. Always. The timing last night was perfect for a possibly record high min (?) with the approach of Fay. Southerly flow of high pwat air out of the tropics? The only way to mix the lowest levels around here is with the 30-50mph low level jet wind speeds recorded at the summits... especially with the speed max happening early morning when you'd hope for the diurnal bottom.

It's like 2011-2012 in a way... below normal snowfall, not an inspiring winter by any stretch of the imagination. But the N/NW side of New England got a few events and then some nickle and dimers... compared with very little in other areas, it seems like a good winter. Some good events during "winter" months can start the idea, and then a solid finish is a lasting impression. To some it seems like a better winter relative to the actual numbers. In reality it wasn't a very good winter.

Swimming spots are incredibly busy right now... it's nice to see folks getting outside and enjoying the heat in NNE. Hiking trails were as busy as I've ever seen them prior to the high dews the past few days. Folks heading outdoors even more than normal this summer so far, in a place where folks go to get outside. Thanks COVID. Only the high dews deter them only to the swimming holes though.

Yeah I average decently less snow at 750ft than you and we need to have someone come once or twice a winter sometimes with a bucket loader to push the snowbanks way out into the lawn. It's common, those snowbanks will pile up and then it'll rain at some point and turn them to concrete that only a bucket loader can deal with. Last year we had more dense QPF rich snow with the warmer pattern, and that's when its really needed. The plows can crush the fluffer nutter snowfalls pretty easily into the existing snowbanks. In confined areas you need to just truck it away and dump it somewhere, ha.

Ha, I think it was a reference to classic superstitions on the forums about buying new winter toys... you buy something like a snowmobile and snowblower, you are guaranteeing a snowless winter so you can’t use it. But yeah, plowing is the only way to go if you average 100+ per season.

No, NNE is fukked. Ginxy to Scooter should get ready for jackpots. Lets just hope he doesn’t have the luck of @eyewall...he moved to BTV from the Carolinas and then the airport goes like two full years without a 6”+ event, including the only time in 65 years with 0” at the Mansfield Stake on Christmas.

No camera-on-a-tripod in a hotel room was ever aimed at clouds out the window. Before today. “Don’t worry honey, that camera is for clouds not the bed.”

Really cool cloud porn this evening. Big towers going up everywhere it seems.
